Taste of Old Florida

13 sites · RVs, Tents10 acres · Palm City, FL
A small but unique piece of land that was given to a family in the 1920s by the Florida Railroad Company. It stayed in the family until we purchased it. It is unique because the surrounding area does not have much tree coverage. This is due to the ground underneath, which is a vein of grey marl. This is why the area is called the Allapattah (an Indian word for Alligator) Flats. We are hoping that our county stays the way it is so people will know what Old Florida really looks like. Minutes from I-95, but surrounded by the Allapattah Flats Wildlife Management Preserve. Located on Martin Hwy, which was recently designated as a Florida Scenic Hwy. Fifteen minutes to Stuart and thirty minutes to West Palm Beach, a world away from the hustle and bustle. We realize that people also love Florida for Disney and tropical paradises but if that is what you want than this may not be your kind of place.

RV camping near Stuart with wildlife watching guide

Overview

Discover the perfect jumping-off point for exploring the East Coast with a campsite near Stuart. On the Atlantic seaside and surrounded by flatlands on three sides, Stuart has a wide array of natural biodiversity including marshes, palm trees, and sealife. Pitch a tent in Allapattah Flats Wildlife Management Area to see waterbirds and night skies, or park your RV in Jonathan Dickinson State Park for access to full hookups and river landscapes. Hiking, biking, horseback riding, and fishing are just a few outdoor activities campers can enjoy in John C. and Mariana Jones/Hungryland Wildlife and Environmental Area. Adventure truly awaits campers who are ready to enjoy Florida’s great outdoors.

Where to go

Allapattah Flats Wildlife Management Area

Fifteen miles south of Stuart, explore Florida’s pine flatlands and marshes from a campsite inside Allapattah Flats Wildlife Management Area. During the day, see wading birds alongside one of the park’s hiking and biking trails. Then, linger until nightfall for spectacular stargazing. A Special Use License is required for year-round camping at a designated area within the wildlife area, so it’s best to book a license early to guarantee a spot. Hunting is also allowed within the area during specific months.

Jonathan Dickinson State Park

Just 30 minutes outside of Stuart is a favorite for year-round RV camping in the area. Jonathan Dickinson State Park offers 144 campsites with water, electricity, tables, and a grills between two campgrounds. The Pine Grove campground also offers sewer hookups. RV and tent campers can enjoy tiled restrooms with showers and a washer and dryer. After setting up, try horseback riding, birding, a pontoon boat tour, or hiking within the park’s expansive forest and river landscape.

John C. and Mariana Jones/Hungryland Wildlife and Environmental Area

With hunting, fishing, and nature study for every type of camper, Jones/Hungryland is filled with wildlife and Florida’s natural beauty. Find trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding through the flatlands, and learn about the region’s history in cattle ranching and citrus farming. Picnic tables, toilets, and a pavilion make Jones/Hungryland comfortable for a multi-day stay. Year-round primitive tent camping within the wildlife area is limited, so get a permit and book ahead to score a campsite.

When to go

Florida’s mild climate makes it easy to camp year-round in Stuart. December to March is the most popular time of year for all types of camping because Florida winters bring plenty of bright sun and relief from the heat. March to May offers spring blooms and cool nights, with daytime temperatures starting in the low 70s. Camping in the hot summer months is still popular for crowds who like swimming. Prepare for summer camping with lots of sunscreen and bug spray.
